Advanced Business Simulation: Last week we explored Zapitalism and saw the many features of this free simulation. This week we step up the complexity a good bit to a much more detailed and complete business simulation. We may need two sessions to really explore this week's offering. Stop by and check out an example of playful learning that gets to very complicated issues.

This week we explore a free business simulation game that educators may find valuable to teach learners the different components and costs of running a business as well as many of the basics of our economic system. Learning can be great fun through structured play. Come join us as we look at one example simulation and how it might be useful in our education efforts.

In this session we explore Google Sheets and some simple ways teachers may wish to use Sheets. We will learn a few basic functions that make sheets into interactive spaces and we will look at how formatting options allow us to do much more than one might think we can do in a spreadsheet. There will be a few examples shared that are beyond the basics to simply illustrate some of the power available after basics are mastered.

This week we continue our exploration into Google Sites. Specifically, we will explore a few options that demonstrate how other google tools can be used to create interaction with learners on your site. We will be starting from scratch to build these examples so you will have the sequence laid out and recorded if you should wish to try to add these interactive elements to your own site.
